It would be better if I died.
…
It rained heavily for several days.
Prince Zhao Liu Huai was also looking at the world and thinking. His staff walked up behind him, frowned, and asked pessimistically: "Sir, have you really made up your mind to cooperate with those spies in the Northern Kingdom?"
"Do we really want to hold back Jingzhao Yin's army and let those northern thieves subvert Jianye?"
"Would those northerners really be willing to sacrifice themselves for our success? Young Master, don't try to get close to a tiger!"
The staff gave him earnest advice and Liu Huai sighed.
This Prince Zhao was blinded by Li, but he actually didn't believe the Northern Kingdom's exaggerated words. Liu Huai said: "Of course I won't believe them completely... Let's wait and see."
"Contact the other young masters... If I find the right opportunity, I will naturally take action. If it is not enough, I will need their army."
This disaster for Jianye is unavoidable, and everyone has their own plans, waiting for a good show.
…
In early June, all arrangements were made and the wedding banquet of Lu Erlang Lu Xian and Princess Ningping was held as scheduled.
The day before the wedding banquet, Lu Xian was full of anxiety. He knew something would happen at the wedding banquet tomorrow, but because his bastard brother had forced his dream to change, no clues were revealed. Lu Erlang had not dreamed for many days, and had not dreamed of what would happen on this day.
It should be similar to the war in Jianye in July in his dream. But that war flashed by in Lu Xian's dream. Lu Xian only remembered that the war caused the court to delay time, delayed military operations, and killed Hengyang King Liu Mu who was at the border.
But in reality, in order to save Liu Mu, Lu Xian brought forward the war that was supposed to happen a month later. He was confused and could only choose to trust his third brother's judgment -
But has God been lazy these days? As the wedding banquet draws closer, he should be dreaming about the details of the war, thus reminding his third brother.
But I never dreamed!
With all this anxiety, the wedding day finally arrived.
Princess Liu Tang of Ningping got married, and the procession was long and long. Although the princess was not favored in the royal family, she was still very noble in the Lu family. Most of the famous families in Jianye came to watch the ceremony and gave countless gold, silver, jade and other treasures.
At dusk, Lu Xian took Princess Liu Tang with him to ride in a carriage for the people to watch. The Lu family was generous and threw gold and jade items to the ordinary people who watched the ceremony. The jingling and bumping of items attracted people to scramble for them.
At the same time, colorful fireworks illuminate the night sky.
At the Lu family, Luo Lingyu, who was helping other female relatives to organize the wedding banquet, was jealous. She tried hard to suppress her envy and greeted the guests with her husband.
She could still barely bear all this, but then the master of ceremonies began to sing the lyrics, and another eunuch announced loudly outside -
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
For a moment, everyone at the banquet was stunned and stood up. Lu Xian and Liu Tang, the newlywed couple, were the first to go out and personally greet His Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess of the Northern Kingdom came together, smiling and letting people present big gifts to bless the newlywed couple.
The onlooker, Chen Wang Liu Chu, cast a few subtle glances at the Northern Princess. Seeing that the woman's eyes occasionally fell on Lu Yun, Liu Chu's eyes flashed, and he realized some interesting information.
Lu Yun was already used to girls looking at him from time to time. Even at his second brother's wedding banquet, even though Lu Yun was already married, the girls often glanced at him, and Lu Yun knew it. With so many girls looking at him, Lu Yun didn't care about the Northern Princess's gaze at all.
The princess' eyes were darker.
Lu Yun was tall and as beautiful as jade. He stood out among the group of men and women. He did not walk over, but stared thoughtfully at the emperor who appeared inexplicably. This was probably the only exception to his expectations... Langjun's forehead twitched slightly, and he felt that the Northern Kingdom's plot seemed to be bigger than he thought.
While he was thinking, his foot was suddenly stepped on and his waist was pinched hard. Lu Yun felt the pain and lowered his head, grabbing Luo Lingyu's hand that was fiddling around his waist: "Why are you pinching me?"
Luo Lingyu was so jealous. She didn't dare to show it to others, for fear that others would think she was petty. But in front of Lu Yun, she didn't hide it. She stared at the emperor who was invited to the throne by the Lu family with sparkling eyes. She stepped on her husband's feet and pinched Lu Yun's waist. She was annoyed: "Look, look! Look at others! Their wedding is so grand, hundreds of thousands of taels of fireworks are set off at will, and even His Majesty the Emperor is invited... Look at you! What were you like when you married me, so poor... I also want such a grand wedding banquet. Lu Xuechen, it's all your fault!"
Lu Yun: "... My second brother's wedding was for another purpose, otherwise it wouldn't have been so grand. He actually sacrificed his own wedding banquet, and there was bloodshed at the wedding banquet. Do you think this is a good thing?"
Luo Lingyu: "I don't care! I just think she's good... Brother Xuechen, look at you, you didn't put any effort into marrying me, wuwuwu."
Lu Yun chuckled and rubbed her head: "If you want a grand wedding, it's actually easy to do. When has your brother ever failed to satisfy you?"
Luo Lingyu looked at him in surprise, as if surprised that he could satisfy this.
Then I heard Lu Yun say: "Let your husband divorce you first. Then we can have a bigger wedding, how about that?"
Luo Lingyu: “…”
Staring at him fiercely: You bad guy!
…
On the same night, Lu Erlang married his wife, the refugees from Jianye prepared to move, and the Sima Temple army kept an eye on them. The young man Yue Zihan and a group of his men closed their eyes and stood quietly waiting on the road that the emperor's carriage had to pass.
The knife shines brightly, illuminating the cold sky.
At the same time, the iron horses were treading on the ice, and the wind was galloping. The King of Hengyang led his troops and rushed to Jianye at the fastest speed. They were getting closer and closer, slowly approaching the outskirts of Jianye. The ancient city with lights all day long became clearer and clearer in his sight, and Liu Mu's heart became more and more excited.
On the northbound route, a group of poor people boarded a ship and followed the famous scholar Zhou Tan to Jianye to support Chen Wang Liu Chu. Under her father's watch, Zhou Yangling had already changed back into women's clothes and attracted countless stares while sailing.
